I knew I already saw that…
Or perhaps:
That’s all that came to mind when I saw this yesterday, I’m glad you brought dot matrix up
See-thru-po
Urgh, I hate when brands use the phrase “Break the internet!” … It just sounds so braindead to me.
I feel like that photo really doesn’t capture the oddity of that get-up, though it does feel “Dune-ish”:
More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.
Yeah, it looks better from the other angle but more Dune-ish from this one IMO
I’m just annoyed at the caption “break the internet”.
How is this a meme? It’s a classic art piece designed by Theirry Muglier and was originally seen in George Michael’s Too Funky music video. And yes it’s inspired by robots like C3PO and Maria/Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.
Because it look ridiculous.
I think it looks amazing. How sad for people that they decide to mock art and artistry due to a lack of imagination. She’s a principal cast member in a literal space opera where humans fight over a planet on while wearing all manner of interesting outfits. What she’s wearing is no more ridiculous than anything else in the movie is definitely the best looking outfit the cast wore on the red carpet in Mexico.
Good for you, I mean that. But as much as you admire and enjoy this outfit, I don’t.
It’s called perspective and personal opinion
To be honest I think it looks cool! Why not? Bring back the armor, capes and/or swords!
I imagine plate armor is uncomfortable as fuck… Capes are dope though, but I can imagine them getting caught in various things causing fatal accidents (escalators, revolving doors, moving trains, etc.)
Its not difficult to engineer a bit of safety into a cape. The clasps holding the cape around your neck/on your body can be designed to have a low breakaway strength to prevent strangulation(150N is a typical force). This is a feature designed into most safety helmets. Its secure enough to never fall off unintentionally, but weak enough that it removes the risk of strangulation.
Zendaya switched to a dress after the red carpet walk, so you are probably right about the comfortability
I think it’s more of a metropolis vibe
It was exactly a metropolis inspired look. She got it out of a museum basically. It was on the runway in the 90s(?) as an homage to the robot woman from Metropolis.
To be fair, it could be the Metropolis gal too.
For those too lazy to click the wiki linkYes, both Zendaya’s dress and C3PO were designed to look like Maria, the robot in Metropolis.

Everyone do an image search for Hajime Sorayama (potentially NSFW).
Looks it’s Z-3PO
These Disney chicks have become so NSFW nowadays. Miley Cyrus, Bella Thorne, Zendaya, Demi Lovato, etc.
How ironical!
As I understand it, it’s to get out of Disneys iron clad contracts.
Disney values it’s family friendly image very much. And it’s the only way to get out of what is close to a slave contract.
Both are inspired by the 1927 Film Metropolis.
I think that Zendaya’s version was also inspired by Hajime Soroyama.
Who was clearly inspired by Metropolis:

I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.
I must be blind, I see no resemblance
for me to not see it
The outfit alone was enough for my wife and I to both instantly go “oh that’s some Barbarella looking shit”. The context of it being at a scifi premiere cemented in my mind that it was an aware homage but I could be wrong.
Ok wow, I had no idea zendaya’s outfit had windows. I see them now, but I totally thought it was just gold-looking armor.
More like see-THRU-PO, amirite?
The internet award of the day goes to you.
